Chronic Use of Tramadol Apr 26 5:18pm | By Christy Hunt (@christinehuntmd)Comment receiving replies
It’s worked for and I hope for many others who followed that advice. I walk 2 miles a day (I’ve always been a walker), do a home exercise program 2 x day, go to PT when I need a tune-up. I use buprenorphine patch for pain and cannabis for breakthrough pain instead of Percocet. At 71 for me I feel I’m doing pretty good. Just discharged from outpatient PT today and went to the gym. Yes I ache but found that exercise is a great pain reliever. As a retired nurse I understand why and what the docs must do when prescribing narcotics to patients. Everybody has hoops they must jump through in this age of substance abuse. I hope you’re able to find peace with your health.

Good for you. I hope many who reply are not sitting on their “pity pots” and actively working at becoming as active and healthy as described above.
I for one am trying every day and okay make believe that I will be well and healthy like I once was. But my tick borne disease decides when I will be well and when it emerges in crafty fashion into the bloodstream and causes havoc and back to bed for the next cocktail of abx to get me going again.
The above mentioned comments are good incentives to follow. Not all of us are so lucky. We hope we will be but it’s - as my father would say—a crap shoot. Pardon my descriptive language.
